Stereo calibration: problem with projection matrices and SGBM

I am trying to create a depth map from a disparity using SGBM. The resulting disparity map has almost no definition. So I set up sliders for the various SGBM values and can get very limited results - they are basically blank.

After calibrating the cameras individually followed by the stereo calibration I can rectify images which comes out rather well:

Something I've noticed is the projection matrices and the Q matrix have several NAN values. Also the ROI for each camera is all zeros which can['t be right. Below are the saved calibration setting that I am using showing the NAN values.

Since the RMS values for each single camera calibration are under 0.4 and the stereo RMS is less than 2.0 with a re-projection error of less then 4.0 I'm not sure what may be wrong at this point. Suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

The resulting disparity map has almost no definition

That confused me, too. The disparity map needs to be converted/scaled for 8-bit grayscale before it will have suitable contrast.

Separately, a reprojection error of 4.0 is kind-of big. With about 50 input calibration images, I can get two non-synchronized webcams to a re-projection error of 0.7 or better. If using detect-checkerboards, it's important to reject or re-arrange points from images where the order of points is spatially different. Also, the checkerboard detector sometimes gets confused and switches rows on the checkerboard in some images; manual checking of each pair and only using "good" pairs helps.
